I also had been chosen to participate in the URI Chemistry Contest in 10th and 11th grade for my school team. We received 3rd place the first time, and 2nd place the second time. I have received the silver medal on the National Latin Exam two years in a row (10th and 11th grade). I also was given the Wellesley College Book Award in 11th grade, as well as the Touchstone Award from the Student Leadership Training Program.
Going into 9th, 10th, and 11th grade I have challenged myself physically throughout the summer. I have participated in trips through the American Youth Foundation, an organization which encourages teens to build a balanced life in physical, social, mental, and reflective terms. These rigorous trips consist of the 4 Trails Program. I have participated in three: the Explorer track (5 day hike, 6 day bike, 6 day canoe) , the Adventurer track (10 day bike and 10 day hike), and the Voyager track (22 days of biking in Nova Scotia) </p>

<p>So what are my chances? I really want to go!</p>

<p>Your grades look good. Your GPA is slightly above average and your Math SAT I score is well above average, while your writing and reading is average. Your SAT II grades are great. It seems that you have taken rigorous classes and I am sure you have done well considering you have a good GPA. For your grades, I think you have a great shot. However, your EC are not as strong. It seems that you have a lot written down, but you were not too consistent and I know Wellesley, and most colleges, like to see consistence. </p>

<p>Overall, just from my general knowledge of the school, I think you have a shot. Keep in mind that you also need great teacher recommendations and essays. Also, keep in mind that in reality, you are competing within your own racial group while trying to be admitted to any school. If you are competing with many people of your racial group who have done better than you, then your chances will be decreased.</p>
